On Thursday, September 26, Sean Moriarty, Chief Technology Officer implemented a reorganization in CTS, effective that same day. According to Moriarty, “we have decided to reorganize to ensure that CTS continues to offer the high quality services that the campus needs and has come to expect.” He mentioned the goals that were set for reorganizing included:

Appropriate succession planning to ensure continuous service delivery

Streamline accountability for services

Bring common tasks together inside a single team

Put a renewed focus on areas that are clear priorities

Augment the CTS skill set for our challenges in the coming years

Based on those goals, the following changes have been implemented:

Nicole Decker has been promoted to Associate Director, Client Support & Communication – Nicole will be responsible for the Help Desk and desktop support in addition to her duties in Instructional support (Blackboard Angel, Lecture Capture) and web and mobile support. Nicole, who has worked at Oswego state since 1996, is this year’s recipient of the Chancellor’s Award for Professional Service and is moving up from her former position of Assistant Director, User Support.

Tyrone Johnson-Neuland’s position has been changed to Assistant Director, Telecommunications, Network & Construction. The change reflects CTS’s commitment to the construction process and the focus that we want to put on streamlining the many different aspects of implementing technology in Oswego State’s new buildings. Tyrone has been the Assistant Director, Telecommunications for the last ten years and has worked at Oswego since 1993.

CTS has created a server administration team. Two staff members (John Perrin and Andy Goldzweig) will be moved into that team. A third member will be added when CTS back-fills a current opening. The team will be responsible for the server administration of the many systems CTS supports. Formerly this service was performed in various groups throughout CTS.

The new server administration team will be led by Paul Taylor, whose new title will be Assistant Director, Server Administration and Identity Management. Paul formerly was the Assistant Director, Instructional Technologies. He has worked at Oswego State for 28 years.

A new management position will be created to coordinate the activities of the Technical Support Professional team. The title of this position will be Technology Support Coordinator.

In his final remarks, Moriarty said “I want to thank Nicole, Tyrone and Paul for taking on these new and/or additional responsibilities. I feel that the changes implemented above will help to make CTS stronger in the years ahead and assist CTS to continue to deliver high quality services.”
